1. Make sure you know what you are looking for. If you don’t know, you’ll end up settling for whoever comes along. Make a written list of the top qualities in an “ideal person” you would like - such as honesty, sense of humor etc… Use this list as your guideline when dating - the closer the person matches your “ideal person” the better chance you have of finding the right one.

2. Realize that there is no such thing as an “ideal person” so you’ll have to compromise on minor things, for example hair color or body type, but it is not recommended to compromise on major issues. In another words, if you don’t want children, don’t date someone who wants a family or has children.

3. Be sure you are compatible in all areas. For a compatible relationship or marriage, couples should have common interests and principles. Imagine living your entire life with someone who does not understand you…

4. Keep in mind that your “ideal person” is searching for their “ideal” too. So, if you want someone athletic, you should get into shape, because athletes like their partners to be in good physical condition too.

5. Once you’ve found your perfect partner, take at least six months to a year to really get to know them inside and out. If you can’t picture yourself with this person in 20, 30 or 40 years, then he or she is not the right person for you.
